There's actually a reason for that - bluer light reflects in front of the retina rather than focusing onto it, and so it scatters throughout the eye more than other wavelengths, especially when there's little ambient light. It's called the Purkinje effect.
The light doesn't have greater luminosity, but it is perceived as brighter.
